Abstract

The present paper provides an estimate of the expected number of crossings of a random polynomial y=g1cosx+g2cos2x+…+gncosx with the line y=mx, where m is a ny constant independent of x and gν (ν = 1,2,…,n) is a sequence of independent normally distributed random variables with mathematical expectation zero and variance one. There are many known asymptotic estimates for the case m = 0. It is shown that the results are still valid even when m → ∞ as long as m = o(√n).
